Hi,
when I try to open more than 19 files in IDL 4.0 for Windows I get an
error message, saying "Error Opening File ..." (or the like). When
I close any previously opened file I can successfully retry with
the command .continue
From time to time I manage to re-open the manually closed files
some IDL statements later.
Is there a limit on how many files I can have open at one time?
Is this a MS Windows limit?

Norbert,
Your limit of 19 simultaneously open files is NOT an MS Windows limit. In
fact, when I have been running IDL under other OS's, I have run up against a
13 file limit. I suggest you look carefully at your code to see how to
restructure it so you use fewer files. Make sure if you open files inside a
for loop, you also close them inside the loop, etc.
Best of luck,
Mary Ruth Keller
P.S. How much physical and virtual memory are available on your machine?
